Center for Innovation in Imaging Biomarkers and Integrated Diagnostics (CIMBID)
The Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians & Surgeons (VP&S) and the Department of Radiology, in partnership with the AI at VP&S Initiative, Data Science Institute, Fu Foundation School of Engineering and Applied Science, Mailman School of Public Health, and NewYork-Presbyterian, invite you to join us as we launch CIMBID.
LOCATION
Columbia School of Nursing
560 W 168th Street, 7th Floor
New York, NY 10032
CIMBID is a multidisciplinary research center designed to advance research, education, and clinical translation in AI-driven imaging biomarkers and integrated diagnostics. We bring together the brightest minds at Columbia University—spanning disciplines in medical imaging, computer science, biomedical informatics, bioengineering, systems biology, and public health—to conduct cutting-edge, rigorous, and impactful research. Through multidisciplinary collaboration, we aim to bridge the gap between technological innovation and clinical application, ensuring that our advancements translate meaningfully into real-world patient care. This event is aimed at highlighting the depth and breadth of the mission and activities of CIMBID and engaging the research community at Columbia University, as well as our partners, more broadly into a vibrant scientific ecosystem. We're excited to have you join us!
